i'm surprised at hue many politicians have child in on broccoli. we'll have it for you in the cooler. good morning, everybody. i'm brian shackman. wednesday, july the 10th. some disturbing details in the aaron hernandez murder case. in the cooler, perhaps the best on air correction in the history of television. maybe i'm being a little hyperbolic, but we like this a lot. we begin this morning with details on what happened inside the cockpit of asiana flight 214 moments before it crashed on to a san francisco runway. federal investigators say the pilots thought they had set the plane's auto throttle when they came in for landing. the training captain who was on his first flight as an instructor believed the passenger's jet was coming in at the correct speed of 137 knots. at about 200 feet out he realized they were too low and
2:31 am
too slow because the lights at the end of the runway weren't lining up. >> after the impact the aircraft ballooned. it yawed left. and it went into a 360 degree spin. >> two flight attendants were ejected out of the aircraft as it crash landed. another member was trapped for a short time under an emergency chute that had inflated. the airline's president arrived in san francisco which you might expect a media frenzy. he plans to apologize to survivors in the hospital. he said it was too early to blame the accident on pilot error. by the way, delays continue at sfo with the runway still closed. some flights delayed as much as an hour and 70 flights were outride canceled tuesday alone. canadian authorities are opening a criminal probe in the deadly crash of oil tankers and that train in quebec. the death toll now stands at 15
2:32 am
with dozens still missing. the corner's office said some of the victims, this is totally disturbing, may have been vaporized in last saturday's explosion with terrorism ruled out, the head of the rail company that operated the train has accused local firefighters of disabling the train's air brakes while fighting a smaller fire aboard earlier in the day. >> the train had the engine shut down earlier. they didn't do this on purpose. >> what happened? >> the firemen shut down -- they should have gotten the locomotive engineer and taken him to the scene with them. but it's easy to say what should have happened. we're dealing with what happened. >> the local fire chief denies any improper procedure by his crew. let's turn our attention
2:33 am
overseas now where egypt's interim president has appointed a new prime minister and vice president in the hopes to bring some stability to the country. the muslim brotherhood rejecting the timetable to establish a new government. they say the appointments are i will will illegitimate actions. they said they're cautiously concerned about the free election. the defense expected to rest this week in the murder trial of george zimmerman. yesterday a forensic pathologist testified that gun powder marks around the bullet hoelg in trayvon martin's chest suggest the 17-year-old was on top of the neighborhood watchman at the time of the shooting. >> so the wound itself by the gap, by the powder tattooing in the face of contact of the
2:34 am
clothing indicated -- indicates that this is consistent with mr. zimmerman's account that he -- that mr. martin was over him leaning forward at the time he was shot. >> today the judge is expected to decide the fate of a 3d re-creation of the altercation between martin and zimmerman produced by the defense. last friday prosecutors filed a motion to block it in court. let's go to boston. where two gangsters come face to face in a courtroom, you can expect things to get a little bit heated. yesterday, kevin weeks, a former partner of james whitey bulger took the stabbnd and testified against his former boss. he was asked if he has any remorse for the five killings. weeks responded, five people are dead. it bothers me. we killed people who are rats and i have the two biggest rats
2:35 am
right next to me. bulger then lashed out saying, you suck and weeks responded, f you, okay? which prompted bulger to follow suit saying, f you, too, says the 83-year-old ending with weeks asking, what do you want to do? that's me paraphrasing the energy. what do you want to do? do you want to take this outside? if only we had cameras in that courtroom. yesterday's exchange was the first time bulger and weeks had spoken to each other in 16 years. also in the boston area, dzhokhar tsarnaev will make his first appearance in a federal court room. victims, family members and survivors of the attack are expected to be at the heavily attended hearing. he faces a litany of charges in the spree of violence in april that left four people dead and some 260 people injured. of course, those images still pretty tough to watch. in arizona, a bell tolled for each of the 19 firefighters killed in the yarnell hill wild

fire. thousands of first responders came from far and wide to remember the men who were overcome unexpectedly by the flames. outside, thousands more withstood the heat of summer to pay a final tribute to members of the granite mountain hot shots. the loan surviving member of the crew read the prayer. vice president biden invoked an old saying, all men are created equal and then a few become firefighters. >> i know that the cliff jumper, rock climber, mountain biker, football player, iraqi vet, marine, son of a firefighter. i know them. confident, committed, determined, trustworthy, passionate, they were firefighters. i know them because they saved the life of my two sons. >> that fire, by the way, is 90% contained with more than 200
2:37 am
firefighters still hard at work battling it. many evacuees returning home absolutely stunned to see the breadth of the destruction. to capitol hill where republicans are not expected to block the nomination of james comby as fbi director. he faced numerous questions related to national security. >> when i first learned about water boarding, when i became deputy attorney general, my reaction as a citizen and a leader was this is torture. it's still what i think. i went to the attorney general and said, this is wrong. this is awful. you have to go to the white house and force them to stare at this and answer that question. i believe the answer is we should not be involved this kind of stuff. >> comey also weighed in on the nsa's surveillance programs saying they were necessary to protect the united states. still he added that he would like to see more transparency with the see cred fiza court.
2:38 am
if confirmed he would serve a ten year term as director of the fbi. >> any time sarah palin talks you have to pay a little attention, i guess. there's word that she's mulling a return to public office. in a radio interview palin said she's considering running for u.s. senate in her own state. >> i've considered it because people have requested me considering it, but i'm still waiting to see what the lineup will be and hoping, there again, there will be new blood, new energy. not picking from the same old politicians in the state. >> from a media perspective, we would love for her to run. >> maed treadwell and the previous nominee in 2010, joe miller. turning our attention to business. wall street, the dow gaining 75 points. however, the international monetary fund revising its
